Scott Hartnell arrived via trade from the Nashville Predators, and it was a match made in heaven. The Flyers fans always love gritty power forwards (does the new mascot Gritty kind of resemble Hartnell?), and Hartnell was no different. His fun-loving personality endeared him even more to the city. Recording most of his goals by crowding the net, Hartnell was a two-time 30-goal scorer and an All-Star in 2012.
A former captain of the Philadelphia Flyers, Mike Richards, was a late 1st Round pick in the 2003 Draft who would impress everyone with his two-way skills. The former Centre would have four straight 60 Point seasons (including an 80 Point one) from 2007-08 to 2010-11, where he also received Frank J. Selke Award votes each season. This included a runner-up campaign, which coincided with the 80 Point season mentioned earlier.
